Hot take: Oracle of Mul Daya is underrated and misunderstood. It is a Mulldrifter that demands an answer. Although not by virtue of its size, but because it keeps generating value if it remains on the board. Yeah, I'll definitely check Chapin's article. Thanks!
Could you do a video on conspiracies and 'draft-matters' cards in cube? I'm interested in hearing your perspective, especially on which ones might be too good/too weak.
That's a great idea, thanks! I am not currently cubing any of those, but I have experimented with a number of conspiracies and so on. I appreciate the suggestion!
Excellent presentation! The vindicate and terminate tests are key to evaluate cards objectively. Another way of evaluating Baneslayers is with the Quadrant theory (from LR cast), which showcases their strengths.
I think it's worth noting that cube's that steer heavily into the "mulldrifter" school of thought tend to have less interesting boards. Most creatures with ETB don't really do much once they are in play. Boards tend to have creatures with no relevant text once in play besides maybe a keyword.
I'd say free casting and spamming the same generic effect over and over (the opposite of fun) is more washed up than Baneslayer Angel. Heck, you're more washed than Baneslayer Angel lol

That's a good point! I like Brian Wong's quadrant theory.

Yeah, I think I prefer draft formats that let combat be splashy and the primary driver of games. More of Baneslayer view
